Happy Birthday MACcoy!

I can't think of too many people I know well who don't know that a few months ago I got a MAC. Two months ago today actually. Yes, I have been "converted" and my MAC friends are now working to fully assimilate me into their all MAC all the time world. I must admit there are so many things I love about "MACcoy" - let's start with the fact that I was basically "required" to name him. Not sure why I think my MAC is a him - perhaps his cold steel frame....I digress. Back to what I love about MACcoy (as in the real).

1) He's always on and rarely requires a reboot - I've estimated my time savings per day to be somewhere around an hour based on being able to open and shut the lid with everything right where I left it.

2) He's super-fast - normally not a quality I look for but in the case of a computing device it's very cool.

3) He let's me take funny pics of myself - now if he could only help me with judgment on which ones NOT to post to Facebook :)

4) He's really smart about devices I plug into him and rarely tells me I need to find the driver - he just goes and finds it for himself. Self sufficiency is always good.

So that's the up-side of a MAC from my perspective. The downside, no more 15 minute coffee breaks while I "boot up" in the a.m.

File this one under everybody's doing it!

For a year I've been threatening to start a blog. For a self described, (fully clothed) exhibitionist it's a dream come true! I can ramble, rant, repute and regurgitate all kinds of information all from the comfort of my armchair. More fun than a barrel of monkeys (more on that in a future blog).

You can expect to hear from me only when I really have something important to say that won't fit into a tweet (follow me on twitter @clareitycoo). You can also find me on Facebook - the pics you see are better if I know you :) I'm fascinated by this whole Web 2.0 blah blah insert trendy words here craziness. We are ALL now publishers!

Topics you will likely tire of if you subscribe to this blog:

The Geddes Teens - my 2 teenage angels - Logan is 16 going on 7 and Kelsie is 13 going on 30.

All things real estate (especially technology) - I love to follow trends and watch real estate at a local level and the web allows us to watch locally even from thousands of miles away!

My liberal opinions on social issues and my conservative opinions on fiscal issues - yep I'm one of those!

My home town of Baker City and my roots in Boise, ID - two places I LOVED living in and miss a lot sometimes (especially friends and family)

And of course the weather - I love all things warm and sunny so Fountain Hills, AZ is a great place to live.

Still with me? Ok, but you have been warned!
